ThisTeply was in the State Depart ment cipher, and-it Is regarded by .the State DcjKirtment as gfiiuiue. inas much as forgeries seem, uuder the cir cumstances, impossible. .An soon as Minister Conger's cable gram had 1-eeii translated, a Cabinet council was called iu the ollice in the Secretary of State.

July Jt.S4 rtary Hay explained his reasons for placing ro-lianee-ln the authenticity of Minister Conger's dispatch, saying that it was a complete reply.

They did not. In his opinion, mean that the Chinese Government troops were lie sieging, the foreigners, He seems to entertain little doubt that the Chinese Government itself wa loing all in Its power to suppress the Boxer Insurrec tion.

ELY BROTHERS, 14 "Warren Btntt, liew Yorlu 1 they rould easily select a non-committal dispatch to serve the required purpose. It I supposed, that Conger omitted to destroy the cipher code, and that this la now In the possesfclon of the Chinese. In which event the selec tion of a suitable dispatch would not be difficult. It is argued that the 'dis patch, if It were a genuine reply to the inquiry of the American Govern ment, would go more Into details. A slight ray of hone is admitted in the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Conger are known to have been on very friendly terms with the Empress .Dowager, but the universal opinion here Is that. If the dispatch is genuine, the date is falsified. The bare possibility that the news of the massacre was prema turn however.-has had its effect, and the Government has Issued a semi-of ficial disclalmor of the responsibility for the proposed memorial service in St Paul's Cathedral, while) the.news-paiK-rs are calling for a postponement of the service until all doubts are set at rest. i ' V - v - The dispatches from Yokohama an nounce that another division of the Japanese troops is embarking for China, accompanied by siege troops for the reduction of Pekin.

The ".Mikado added that the Chinese Government should suppress the disorders and rescue the Minister, thus disarming the hostllty of ; EurotH.
